The same bow, the English longbow, and the whole of China developed the short bow, the European longbow, embarked on another technology tree, they around 1400 AD, the longbow developed to the extreme, England with the help of the longbow this class, almost suppressed the entire European military power, and finally had to let the European continent countries, to ban the import of purple shirtwood, to suppress the British longbow.

Although the longbow is soft, the main means of attack, is the projectile, the direct shot and the projectile, almost several times different, this is also the pursuit of the longbow, the projectile is very effective in protecting the initial kinetic energy, the parabola reaches a certain height, the potential energy is also pursued to the best, showing enough lethality, the whole European long-range weapons are under the power of the longbow, until the middle of the 18th century, under the development of a large number of firearms, replaced the longbow.

Sun Ji Why do they underestimate the longbow, the angle they stand on is on the short bow, compared with the short bow, the longbow has too many shortcomings, and the range and power are a huge disadvantage. Zhao Xin's advantages are all the shortcomings of the longbow, and Zhao Xin, who really understands the use of the longbow, knows that these are all advantages, and only after using suitable tactics can the power of the longbow be brought into play.

The longbow is not a direct weapon, even if the longbow shoots directly, it is quite powerful, some elite longbows, can shoot down about 150 meters, in the position of 150 meters, almost useless, there is no way to add gravitational acceleration under the premise, the power of the longbow is greatly reduced.

Far heavier than ordinary arrows, the arrows of the longbow are basically more than 2 times that of the short bow, some of the armor-piercing heavy arrows made especially for armor piercing, plus special long arrows that are more suitable for flight, so that the longbow is about 1 stone, and it is easy to reach more than 250 steps with a projectile, and the formation of a huge parabola effectively maintains the kinetic energy of the bow and arrow, and replaces the power of overcoming gravity with the strengthened force.

Under the premise of the kinetic energy possessed by the highest point, there is gravitational acceleration added, heavier, more suitable for breaking the air of the long arrow, forming an effective flight attack, wind and other sound speeds, it is difficult to affect it, under the premise of accuracy assurance, there is density, this is the terrible thing about the longbow.

When the heavy bow arrow, the heavy arrow itself has an armor-piercing effect, except for the fully protected heavy armor knight who has little way, the other chain mail and chain mail are completely fine, and they can be broken directly through the armor.

Heavy armor knights, as the strongest troops in the era of cold weapons, are like the tanks of land warfare in later generations, according to this theory, if all the heavy cavalry of a country is a heavy armor cavalry, it can show a flat push trend for other countries.

But including the Liao State and the Jin State, and even later, for Mongolia, which occupied a huge territory, the heavy armored cavalry was always the least group of people on the battlefield, both in the East and the West, for the simple reason that the cost of the heavy armored knights was too high.

According to the ordinary standard of about 80 catties of people and horses, even in the Great Song Dynasty, just the iron consumed by the armor lock is as high as 8 runs, and the heavy armored cavalry should pay attention to all kinds of protection, not ordinary craftsmen, who can be manufactured, plus the horse armor, the necessary equipment and weapons, the weapons used by the heavy armored cavalry are also mostly heavy weapons, and when the horse rushes up, only the heavy weapon is powerful.

Such a part of the heavy armored cavalry is always the most expensive, not to mention the horses, because of the weight, almost twice as much as the ordinary cavalry, or even more, this is only the war horse, which is a minority of the few, this kind of cavalry, I am afraid that in the economy, only the Great Song Dynasty can make a large-scale arrangement.

The Great Song Dynasty has a strong economic strength, and also has a large-scale equipment of heavy armored cavalry, just the foot armor, the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is equipped with more than 200,000, this is a real heavy armor, an ordinary one has 60 catties, and the final one even reached 80 catties, which is almost the weight of the armor and vest of the Western Xia Iron Harrier combined.

It's a pity that the Great Song Dynasty has a fatal weakness, that is, the lack of horses, under the control of the Liao State and the Western Xia, the large livestock of the Great Song Dynasty is an eternal pain, once shocked the Quartet, for the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty Jingsai Army, which made great contributions to the Northern Song Dynasty, completely disappeared after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty for decades.

It is also strange to say that in this era, among the several countries in the Central Plains, an outstanding heavy cavalry force, the Jingsai Army of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Iron Harrier of the Western Xia, the Tielin Army of the Liao State, and the Tiefutu of the Jin State later, these are all heavy cavalry.

Even against the heavy armor knights, the longbowmen may not suffer, and the comprehensive protection of the heavy infantry can reach 60 pounds of heavy armor, the heavy cavalry of other countries, the heaviest iron and float, the full weight of the men and horses does not exceed 100 pounds, but the most elite heavy cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty can even reach 130 kilograms, so that it can perfectly defend the people and horses.

In particular, the Great Song Dynasty used the method of cold forging to make the armor more durable and much stronger than other countries, therefore, in addition to the Great Song Dynasty, other heavy cavalry could not be fully defended.

The body of the horse is much larger than that of a person, and the person with heavy armor is about 35 kilograms, and the vest is at least 70 kilograms.

Heavy cavalry will not be fully armored, in the case of the most famous Tiefutu in the Jin Kingdom, the human body, is heavy armor, is plate armor, can effectively defend against the longbow, and even the direct attack of heavy weapons, on the horse, it is not plate armor, it is a metal sheet, similar to chain mail, and it can not be completely protected, glasses, horse legs, and other positions, or no protection.

The attack of the longbow is never a single attack, or a precise attack, it is a dense battle array attack, shooting people first shooting horses, an arrow can not accurately hit a cavalry, but 10, 100, or even 1000, if you use a special armor-piercing arrow, there is not much problem with the frontal hard bar iron float, as long as the heavy infantry or pikemen, can give them time to buy 150 arrows, which is for elite marksmen, at most 12 minutes, when the number of heavy infantry is not too small, It can compete with the heavy cavalry in a short time.

The same number, a hundred times the number of arrows, Tiefutu and people, were also shot off the horse, without the impact of the horse, Tiefutu is also a heavy infantry, and is not familiar with the infantry of the foot station, such infantry is not the opponent of the Northern Song Dynasty infantry at all.

took Sun Ji and the others, entered another room, did not appear in front of the craftsman, but in front of Sun Ji and others, he chose the crossbow arrow of a bed crossbow.

After a few breaths, Sun Ji looked at the crossbow arrows that appeared, and said with a little surprise: "Don't let me shoot with this?"

Crossbow arrows are crossbow arrows, thick and long, under the huge impetus of the bed crossbow, they can attack quickly, and the armor-piercing is good, and the thick and sturdy body can even shoot straight to the city wall for infantry to climb.

This kind of powerful crossbow arrow does not match the bow at all, and the thick body will become the biggest problem for shooting, even if it is a strong bow like the moon bow, it is difficult to play.

Sun Ji was about to open his mouth to speak, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xin didn't use such a crossbow arrow, but just took off the arrow and threw the arrow body aside

Zhao Xin found an arrow, compared, and waited quietly for a quarter of an hour, he didn't speak, and no one else dared, specifically for long arrows, making arrows, some were too late, Miaojiazhuang also had a blacksmith shop, there was no way in a short time, he prepared Sun Ji's strength, pointed to the arrow and said: "Sun Daiyu, pinch it!" ”

"Pinch!" Sun Ji couldn't believe his ears, a bow that had been made by so many people with such a solemn move, still pinched, he looked at such a professional production before, and he still regretted it a little.

Yan Hua next to him couldn't hold back anymore and laughed, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xin would look at him and say calmly: "You are the same, if there are more arrows!" ”

Yan Hua's face froze again, what day is today, do they really want to make toys, his strength is not low, he can open a 9-stone bow, but in archery, it is a little worse, it is no problem to pinch an iron arrow, but the wooden pole, the iron arrow, and the soft bow that is only half a stone, how to look at it, how is it a joke, but now, he has to verify this joke, his face turned from a smile to a sluggish, and he couldn't say a word.
